Hi
When building binutils-2.17 in a different obj directory (as recommended),
with the original distribution directory write protected/owned by a different
user, one notices that the build process tries to modify the distribution
directory (with messages such as "Permission denied" and "touch: cannot change
times on /build/binutils-2.17/bfd/doc/bfd.info") instead of writing everything
into the obj directory), and also emits a misleading WARNING message.
Not so bad, the build proceeds alright.
Best regards,
Arto Nirkko

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
